Hi All, I'm looking at implementing Asterisk for a customer that uses Microsoft Terminal Services heavily in their workplace (every workstation). It's about 25 users, and about 30 phones. At the moment their running on standard 10/100 switches. Nothing special, so I am wondering if I should recommend Layer3 switching for internal QoS?>From my experience with Terminal Services, it's traffic can be 'erractic'.-- Regards, JB Hewitt Business: http://www.stcpl.com.au Blog: http://blade.lansmash.com Best LAN ever: http://www.lansmash.com How to ask a ?: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

A lot of layer two switches do QoS as well. They also can do QoS at layer three. -- Kristian Kielhofner
